With a history of 40 years, Jackson is considered a wild high-performance guitar brand. Jackson's superb luthier and expert tone correction skills have been used by many heavy metal guitarists, including former Ozzy guitarist Randy rhoads, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Def Lappard's Phil Collen and Anthrax's Scott ian. Acquired by Fender in 2002, Jackson led the development of the electric guitar market with its innovative through-body neck and large double-crank lock design. To enhance resiliency, the frets have been overhauled, and the point switches have been used in an innovative way: each pickup has its own mini-potentio, as well as a limited-edition Soloist guitar with a carved body veneer and a bowed drum top. The cutter head design of the Jackson electric guitar and the carving of the Jaws fingerboard have become the totemic symbol of metal music, which has been emulated by many guitar manufacturing brands. Jackson has launched many different series and shapes of guitars, each with different characteristics. Its signature model, the USA PC1 Phil Collen, features a Fender Stra headstock DiMarzio, a single-single-dual pickup combination with the Jackson Infinite Sustain System, and a Floyd Rose Original tremolo system for a full range of tones that can be purchased for $2,000.
